Census

A census of the population was taken in many countries to provide population statistics.
This was first done for England and Wales, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands in 1801. Thereafter it was taken every ten years, except in 1941 when the country was at war.
Scotland was responsible for taking its own census at the same time.

The census was taken on the following dates:

Monday 10 March 1801
Monday 27 May 1811
Monday 28 May 1821
Monday 30 May 1831
Sunday 6 June 1841
